The Dolman Pragmatist Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I see that Lee has flagged 'a couple of niggles' giving concern, one of whom presumably is Little. He also makes a strange reference to Tomlin, Reid or Paterson being able to play as the second striker, so does this suggest that Taylor is a doubt? It would be a shame to have to change the team that has done so well recently, and my worry is the right back position because it does seem that when we get that position right, we do well (and vice versa).

cidered abroad Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 It would be Wilbraham that is the doubt as striking sub option. I'm assuming Tammy and Matty will continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Little is unavailable then Smith would likely take over at RB. That would obviously mean a change in midfield. Hegeler maybe? I guess we'll just have to wait and see. It would be a shame tho if a change was enforced thru injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably Korey at RB and then Cotterill back in which would see Brownhill partner Pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I guess the second striker reference is in case he needs to change it during the game with Wilbs seemingly out & Djuric still struggling. If Little misses out I would expect Vyner to start so the midfield is left as per the last few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsince1994 Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Would hope that the midfield is left with Smith and Pack. Been a long running problem that our midfielders just let the opposition walk through and it hasn't seemed to be the case the last few games. As much as Korey is probably a better option at RB for the sake of the midfield I would like to see Vyner if Little is unavailable. Plus Pack's passing from deep to get attacks going has been exceptional recently and I think this would suffer without Smith in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoxton casual Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 agreed we need Korey in midfield even though he is a great right back. Matthews will not play probably as his confidence is shot to pieces. he was once a great player but something has seriously gone wrong. Vyner at RB for me or maybe even Brownhill with Cotterill coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Hopefully try and leave the team as settled as possible, our best run of recent firm has come with no changes. Obviously injuries might force our hand but I hope we don't then overcook things. Someone mentioned Cottetill, I'd leave him on the bench. For the past few games when featured he has been a shadow of the player who joined us on loan. Just guessing but maybe he has been told there is no chance of a contract here so he might be forced go back and try his luck at Brum. Whatever it is he is well off form at the moment. I really liked the look of him early on and wanted us to put an offer to him. Good job I'm not manager! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I'd like to see Vyner get a game, and I think he will. Can't remember who it was but someone at the club said about the philosophy being "someone gets injured, an U-23 steps up and gets game time".

ashton_fan Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 We may see Tomlin back if Taylor is one of the injuries, at least he should be fresh after a rest. Hope Tammy doesn't have to go off or we'll be struggling for another striker. Got a horrible feeling this will be a draw leaving us in limbo with Brighton away looming.

old_eastender Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Agree with most that we need to keep Korey in midfield, play Vyner RB if Little is unfit. There again LJ must be coming out in cold sweats at the thought of fielding a settled side, so guess he will cease the opportunity to muck things up if Little not fit to start.

Offside Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Completely agree that if Little is injured Vyner should play at right back. Korey Smith does a decent enough job at right back, but we definitely need his energy in midfield where we seem to struggle without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
